Quick Movie Reviews

Anything Denzel Washington does seems to be pretty god, and this is no exception. It is a good storythat not many people think of when it comes to the topic of integration. Sports integration changed the face of sports forever so it is a topic I am very interested in. The movie did a fair job of painting us a picture of what the team went through during integration. This is a MUST watch.

Remember the Titans avoid the typical cheesy sports cliches by injecting its plot with some genuine heart, mostly care of a commanding performance by Denzel Washington. Unsuspectedly sneaks up on you by the conclusion.

Remember the Titans is a well done Disney inspirational sports story. Its suppose to be kind of cheezy. This is a story about overcoming differences, which has been done a lot. But, Remember the Titans does manage to bring some originality to the topic. Would be a good movie for the family (with older children not toddlers who will think its boring).

Ok, so this movie is a little sappy...still I liked it. Denzel Washington is one of my favorites and he doesn't disappoint here either as the hard-nosed coach who is forced to integrate black players into what was an all-white football team. Will Patton plays the coach he replaces and decides to stay on as his assistant and he does a good supporting job as do the players led by actors Wood Harris, Ryan Hurst, Kip Pardue and Donald Faison. Even a very young Hayden Panettiere shines as the football-loving and doll-hating daughter of the assistant coach. A very uplifting and inspiring movie that is based on a true story and it arrives at #35.
